How many different makes of bike........


XTreme

Recommended Posts

CZ, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki.

5 manufacturers out of 17 bikes ever owned over a 38 year period.

3 of those 17 were second (trail) bikes, so only 14 main bikes in 38 years as my daily transport.

Main bikes CZ250, CG125, XS250, CX500, GPz750, GPz750, FJ1200, XRV750, FJ1200. XRV750, XRV750, XLV1000, KLZ1000, XT1200

Trail bikes XL250R, DR350, DR350

I seem to own a bike for 2.7 years on average, but some of the above were for short periods like the CZ and the XS250 which were horrible.

Yep, that’s the look on my face when it eventually started but didn’t explode.

It always amazes me that a manufacturer like Ducati that have made so many beautful motorcycles could also make such an ugly piece of shit like that !!

Having said that , we just sold a black one for a good customer of ours.  I think the buyer was Mr S. Wonder 🤪

Me and a friend bought it back in the 80's from some big bike auto jumble thing in Bristol as a long term fixer upper, i had the engine to rebuild and he had everything else but neither  of us had any cash to spend on it i'd moved in with my missus and we lost touch with each other and it was all forgotten about until my father said what you doing with that engine in the shed. When i went to get back in touch with my mate he didn't live at his old address anymore the bugger had sold up and moved to Bulgaria
It should have looked like this in the vid but all that's left is the engine. which now i think of it i haven't seen for over 30 years i'll have to see if the old man still has it kicking around up there

Ponty to Bulgaria is a bit of a radical step though?

And if he's with a Roma girl he'll be pretty much ostracised by the general Bulgarian population.

Its even worse than that hes from mountain ash and probably the cheapness of the place attracted him :classic_laugh: I just looked him up on Facebook and he looks like he's doing well still into bikes and in some club, pretty much the same as what he was when i bothered with him. He's 10 years older than me so should be 64 now. He introduced the naïve young 17 year old i was back then to bike rally's and clubs which i feel really enriched my life  so i do thank him for that

by the way he is an anti vaxer :classic_laugh:
